Helpful Score: 2

An eye-opening look at the history I assumed that I had known. Jack Weatherford does an amazing job of cataloguing the life of Genghis Khan. I read this book in four days because it was so enrapturing. The subtitle, "The Making of the Modern World" is dead-on. It is easy to see how traditions and values created by the Mongol King are still present in today's world. This is an absolutely mind-blowing book, I hope anyone who enjoys history or non-fiction will pick this book up!
